Quote:
Both candidates are viewed favorably by 56% of the state’s voters. Last month, both were viewed favorably by 57%. The presidential race also has been stable on a national basis for the past several weeks. Obama and McCain have consistently been within a point or two of each other in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.When “leaners” are included in the current New Mexico totals, it’s Obama 48%, McCain 44%. Leaners are those who don’t initially express a preference for one of the major candidates. But, when asked a follow-up question, they do.
McCain is supported by 93% of Republicans while Obama earns the vote from 80% of Democrats. The Democrat has a very slight edge among unaffiliated voters. McCain enjoys a modest advantage among white voters while Obama has a 19-point lead among Hispanics.
Democrat Tom Udall leads Republican Steve Pearce 51% to 41% for the seat being vacated by New Mexico's longtime GOP Senator Pete Domenici, but the race has tightened considerably in the past month.
